Thanks for Success with the Garage Sale!

Great Thanks to everyone who donated garage sale items, donated their labor, donated money and also to those who bought from KC-MTA.

We netted about $375 AND had the opportunity to network with folks from other nonprofit groups. We appreciate the Greater KC Women's Political Caucus for hosting the group garage sale!

About Us

Kansas City Move to Amend is a nonpartisan association of Americans who were moved to take action against the Supreme Court's disastrous ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Corporations may now spend unlimited amounts of their vast resources to campaign for or against candidates running for office. The threat to our democracy is real.
The ruling was largely based on two absurd precedents:
that a corporation is a person and that money is equivalent to speech.
Democracy means that the People rule. But if corporations are free to hijack elections by tapping into their colossal treasuries to influence elections, democracy is impossible.
We, of KC Move To Amend, aspire to amend the US Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
Our focus is on local grassroots action in the Kansas City region. We have joined forces with citizens across the nation by affiliating with Move To Amend.org
This 8-minute animated video, The Story of Citizens United,
provides a clear overview of the effect of the Citizens United ruling on our democracy.
